ABOUT ME

Isn't this what all the rest of the description categories on my profile are for?

PHILOSOPHY

I overheard an old timer at an open mic in Galveston Texas say recently "I'm just trying to stay above ground and play a couple songs here and there." He was easily twice my age but that's about where I'm at.

I've learned that the less concerned I am with results, the happier I tend to be.
